I have been friends with Brian for the longest time, with him visiting us in Switzerland twice quite a few years ago, to drive around the Alps with hiw lovely wife (them in our 930, us in our Carrera 3.o, since our RS was not driveable at the time).
It so happened that I knew quite a bit about the swiss owner of 451, who died in the hillclimb race that takes place not 5 miles from my home. His garage's name should still be on the front fender of 451.
Another chapter in the life of a car that will last longer than most lives.
